Shakedown in Progress

[Null]

All staff who've not been active in moderation or in the moderation area of the board have been demoted.

I am going to assign at least one person to manage each board and if I can't find a moderator for that board I am just going to close it.

I also want people across the site to begin actively using the report button to report threads that have gone off the rails and report posts which offer nothing to discussion. The rule "Don't post if you have nothing to say. Don't post for attention. Further the conversation in some way." applies to every board on this site, except the one hidden shitposting board. Single word replies are almost never acceptable. Posts that just say "This." or so-called "empty quoting" posts are never acceptable. Fucking stop it.

I am tired of hearing people complain about various issues they have with site quality while doing nothing about it. Any fucking halfwit can complain, but we already have the machinations in place to actually deal with quality problems if people actually choose to use them.

Report buttons are on every post. Use them.
Talk to staff is available for every user. If a problem is complicated and requires explanation, use it.

Be the change you want to see, faggot.


Board Tzars
Lolcows - ???
Lolcow General - ???
CWC - @The American Hedgehog
Amberlynn - @Null
Brianna Wu - This board is hidden but I'm probably going to open it today and put @Smutley on top because he wants to pound that gash so hard
DSP - @neger psykolog
Phil - @Smutley?

Community Watch - @Cricket
Animal Control - @Golden Compass, @InLivingTuna, @yawning sneasel, @Feline Darkmage
Beauty Parlor - @CasualSeppuku, @Broken Pussy, @Melchett
L&L LLP - @Null
Salt Mine - @OwO What's This?. Again. For now.
Sisterwood - @Ride, @zedkissed60, @yawning sneasel, @Feline Darkmage, @Smutley
Tumblr - @Meowthkip

A&H - @Cricket
Deep Thunks - ???

Color coded: Green is what the board needs to be (not 'good' since 'good' is not what I'm looking for), orange is problemed, red is shit, purple is idk.

Essentially, the supervisors for a board should both be able to prune shitposting and stimulate discussion, as well as report serious systemic problems upwards. The DSP and BP supervisors do this perfectly. I only occasionally read threads from those boards but I get a general sense of how they're doing because people actually tell me.

I'm debating how I want to proceed with the others. The CWC board is probably the one in the worst shape and I don't know what there is to do with it. Stricter moderation isn't going to fix the CWC board because Chris himself has become boring, but if I ever see someone joining the forum to advertise their storefront of shit they bought from chris to resell at a higher price, I am absolutely going to lose my shit.

 

[Sissy]

You should just shut down the forum

 

[Irwin M. Felcher]

the end days are upon us

 

[Trans Fat 41g]

Okay I'm gonna be a (the?) better user and apologize for the rabbit hole one word posts I told myself I wouldn't do but did do like a fucktard anyways.

Sorry.

 

[Flowers For Sonichu]

I've suggested in the past that we should have a separate thread for updates and discussion for big name cows like Russ Greer so you don't have to dig through 50 "what a bamboon" posts to find actual content and I still think this is a good idea. We used to have a subforum for Chris updates until the content dried up and it worked out pretty well.

 

[totse]

If it's idk then I'll say that as a spectator I approve of the state of the material in Animal Control

I already volunteered to do A&H a while ago. I'd be willing to take over A&H and/or Community Watch.

Someone(s) brought this up not too long ago that given how Chris has stagnated we should trim the fat and put it all into a megathread. If he does anything of significance on his own, i.e. maces someone, get arrested, then we make a thread for it.

The shit with Quinn and Idea Guy really nails this home because idiots like this want to become the 'new generation' of trolls and it just devolves into tryhard bullshit where everyone ends up looking retarded.

Or people who demand to do interviews with cows in exchange for fake dox &/or chimp out when they politely decline

 

[Dirt McGirt]

Must. Resist. Urge. To just post "Good".
I'm pretty happy to see this come down the pipeline since I can remember a couple recent threads off the top of my head that held so much promise but were derailed faster than an Amtrak train and when the dust settled no one wanted to touch that shit and were scared off.

 

[Orkeosaurus]

"Furthering the conversation" is just impossible with Chris nowadays, but in a way maybe it's good that it's basically a containment board

 

[SugarSnot]

Null makes his own boards green. I see how it is!

 

[Null]

@Cricket to purple, tzar of ComWatch and A&H.

also @yawning sneasel to blue.

 

[Adolf Von Merkel]

Good job, @Null

You should just shut down the forum

And reopen it as "Kiwifar(right)m".

 

[TheMockTurtle]

@Null

Put me in coach, I’m ready to smash some nerds

(I’d help with the CWC board if you wanted because it’s total shit and the current mods are weak)

 

[Traditional Tet]

It's time to let the past die. Kill it if you have to.

be warned the last person who volunteered to be a mod for that board became an alcoholic

 

[Done]

@Null, perhaps it would be useful if you elaborate on your vision for the problem boards (where those boards are vs where you think they need to be), so people know where to direct their energies. I am talking mostly about the lolcows board as it comprises a high amount of the people of interest we cover.

(Salt Mine problems are known by now, and IMO, %80 of CWC's pain points are due to Chris himself being largely docile).

 

[autism420]

I’ll do anything that’s needed.

edit: I would temp ban everyone that neg rated this

I think I could subsist on post-deletion sperg-anger alone
